Flashing loud in my head sometimes
In and out, in and out, in and out like
Crashing down when I'm petrified
In and out, in and out, in and out like

Like the tide, any time of day
The moons strings pull it right away
Perhaps I was born tired like Jhené
Sailed my soul out to the edge of the bay
Discovered that I'll never sell my soul to pay
Or fold to fame, but now I'm feeling how I'm feeling whenever I'm told to pray
Serendipitously enter serenity, exit bold and brave
Villains always lurk on the dark side of the coin
In the shadows of the cold they wait, to press pause on your goals
Create a frozen fate, search beyond the four walls of your mind
For the golden place, to lock your dreams, and hold them safe
Don't you ever let them grow old and fade
Let them say what they want to say
But they won't stop you getting on that stage
Live to follow or die a leader, Either way you've got to roll to play

Water on the windscreen, so the red light disperses
It has been green, and it will be, but for now
I see a line of eyes staring back at me
Watch them all just blink in and out of time, in and out of time
I see them blink in and out of time, in and out of time

Flashing loud in my head sometimes
In and out, in and out, in and out like
Crashing down when I'm petrified
In and out, in and out, in and out like

Like a shot that's missed
Or 99.5 percent of the populace
That all, set their bars atop a cliff
Fail, then free fall to an inner apocalypse
There ain't a litmus test to let you know
If you should ever give it a rest, let this go
Instead I watch you pace back and forth between walls
As time passes on like a metronome
And I'm listening, but it's sounding like you're whistling a Shepard's Tone
Claiming you want to be left alone
Even though you still check your phone
Without letting them know, a fake flight mode while you autopilot
Yeah you're the sorta type, believing you're always right
But you don't see what you wanna be blind to
So you lie to me, which means you lie to yourself
Till we relapse and cry for help
